A prenuptial agreement (also known as a prenup) is a smart, proactive legal tool for couples planning to marry. It allows both parties to clearly define how property, assets, debts, business interests, and spousal support will be handled in the event of divorce, separation, or death. Prenups help reduce uncertainty, prevent future conflict, and protect individual and family wealth.

Under North Dakota Century Code § 14-03.1, prenuptial agreements are valid and enforceable if they are entered into voluntarily, with full financial disclosure, and without coercion or fraud. A well-drafted prenup can clarify expectations and avoid expensive, emotionally draining disputes later.
